state of the art testing

GUT HEALTH

NUTRIENT STATUS

NUTRIENT STATUS

Detailed stool testing doesn't just look at the gut flora (microbiome) but allows us to be sure you are digesting food properly (critical for you to be getting the most out of your diet) plus it tests markers of inflammation and immunity.

NUTRIENT STATUS

NUTRIENT STATUS

NUTRIENT STATUS

We use a combination of tests to establish if you are lacking in vitamins, minerals and cofactors. A simple urine test can offer a wealth of information on hundreds of metabolic processes which require these nutrients for energy production, neurotransmitter production and more.

HEART HEALTH

NUTRIENT STATUS

HEART HEALTH

Standard lipid (cholesterol) testing simply does not delve deep enough into the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. We use a comprehensive blood test to look at the latest biomarkers of risk to take away the doubt as to what is contributing to high blood pressure, blood vessel disease and heart function.

GENOMICS

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

HEART HEALTH

Blanket genetic testing is like looking for a needle in a haystack but targeted genomic testing using validated pathway testing can give us invaluable information to help us target specific nutritional needs and enhance protective chemical reactions within the body.

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

If you've been exposed to pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, farming chemicals or petrochemicals you may have a high toxic load. These chemicals interfere with the normal chemistry of the body and if you lack the ability to detoxify, this can lead to poor function, symptoms and then disease. We can test for all of these toxins and establish how well you are able to remove them from the body.

HORMONAL HEALTH

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

TOXINS & DETOXIFICATION

Gut problems, nutritional deficiencies and toxins can all take their toll on the way the body produces and responds to hormones. We do non-invasive urine and blood panels of hormones to get a complete picture of how your body's chemical communication system is working.

ATTENTION: THESE PRICES ARE LABORATORY COSTS ONLY AND DO NOT INCLUDE PRACTITIONER FEES
